Since I have started to add AAA torches to my collection, I've been wondering what chargers are suitable for this kind of battery.
My Nitecore i4 uses a charging current of 375mA per channel with all bays loaded, and the Xtar Vc4 charges with 500mA - which are both too high.
I have also got a Uniross '3-5 hour' charger which charges AAA batteries with 200mA, and I seem to recall reading somewhere that it uses -dv/dt detection for the cutoff. However, it cost me considerably less than many other chargers that I've seen advertised (and about half as much as my other chargers), and I'm not sure if it has any disadvantages compared with other chargers (besides the lack of additional functionality), or can I use it to safely top up my Eneloop AAA?
